Nestlé’s Stouffer’s is venturing into the shelf-stable macaroni and cheese market with the launch of Stouffer’s Supreme Shells & Cheese in two flavors: Cheddar Cheese and Three Cheese. The brand aims to shake up the aisle with this new offering, targeting the $2.9 billion market for shelf-stable macaroni and cheese.

According to Tom Moe, president of Nestlé’s meal division, this move comes at a time when there haven’t been significant entrants in the macaroni and cheese category for a while. With 13 frozen variations of macaroni and cheese already in their portfolio, Stouffer’s is now looking to capture a larger share of the market by expanding into the shelf-stable segment.

Market research has shown that there is a considerable overlap between consumers who purchase Stouffer’s frozen macaroni and cheese and those who buy shelf-stable options. To cater to these consumers, Stouffer’s Supreme Shells & Cheese has been designed with more cheese sauce and a cheese-forward flavor profile, making it stand out against competitors in terms of taste.

In addition to the macaroni and cheese launch, Nestlé has also introduced Vital Pursuit, a line of products aimed at consumers taking GLP-1 medications and focusing on weight management. Both new offerings demonstrate Nestlé’s commitment to meeting evolving consumer needs in the food market.
